能源消耗是无人机交付业务实现快速交付、降低成本和减少排放的全部潜力的关键制约因素。本文提供了一个统一的框架，以便于理解不同的无人机能耗模型，以及关键因素与性能指标之间的相互关系，以便于无人机交付操作的决策。我们对无人机能源消耗模型进行审查、分类和评估。然后，我们记录了由于以下方面的差异而导致的建模能源消耗率的巨大差异：(1)模型的范围和特征；(2)无人机的具体设计；以及(3)假设的操作和使用的细节。结果表明，在采用特定的无人机能耗模型时必须非常谨慎，还需要进行更多的研究，特别是实证研究，以确保所选模型准确地反映交付无人机的设计和使用。
Energy consumption is a critical constraint for drone delivery operations to achieve their full potential of providing fast delivery, reducing cost, and cutting emissions. This paper provides a uniform framework to facilitate understanding different drone energy consumption models and the inter-relationships between key factors and performance measures to facilitate decision making for drone delivery operations. We review, classify and assess drone energy consumption models. We then document the very wide variations in the modeled energy consumption rates resulting from differences in: (1) the scopes and features of the models; (2) the specific designs of the drones; and (3) the details of their assumed operations and uses. The results show that great care must be taken in adopting a particular drone energy consumption model and that more research is needed, especially empirical research, to ensure the selected model accurately reflects delivery drone designs and uses.
